I’m not too sure if “challenging” is in accord with the PC movement because the word is key when one is supposed to describe certain situations. A corpse is now a metabolically challenged individual and one whose mental acuity...

@BobbyCole Exactly. If you're easily offended by a particular word or phrase, ignore it. The reason two weeks is reserved in the winter season for the holidays, is so that various faith-based holidays can be recognized. Then of course, there's new years....

@BobbyCole I agree with you that I try to be careful not to use racial slurs since it is offensive.

I suppose I could just as easily named this “Life on My Street” because that’s about what Porch Sittin’ amounts to. It’s like sitting on a park bench but I do it on my porch. Just about any time when I’m not doing something...

@BobbyCole Yes , the 506th Regiment was here. Downtown they have a Museum about that created by the Historical Society. That flood that happened in 1977, affected Toccoa Falls College. That was before I came here. I came here from Atlanta to attend College...

@BobbyCole You might be called on as a witness one day to testify to what you heard. But yes, it seems people have to yell when they're on the phone. They can't all be talking to deaf people.

@BobbyCole I am sure she could have found some interesting uses for an iron. lol. You'd think after all these years I'd learn to keep my mouth shut. But nope. Foot in mouth disease is something I definitely suffer from.

@BobbyCole Let's just go with, women are dangerous creatures. I remember my wife asking me once why I wasn't wearing my Polo shirts. "Because the collars are blown and somebody doesn't want to iron," I replied. Miraculously my entire closet wound up on the...

@BobbyCole You will find yourself more than likely well rewarded here. Of course, interaction is the key. Once you get that ball rolling it is like a snowball, and getting all kinds of likes and responses is sort of an affirmation and accolade all unto...

@BobbyCole I wonder how I found time to work as I am quite busy in retirement too! I am happy to pursue my interests and passion in spending time on those that I had no time for earlier. Sadly, travelling is no fun now with this ongoing pandemic. In a way,...
